Question

Charges –q and +q located at A and B, respectively, constitude an electric dipole. Distance AB = 2a, O is the mid point of the dipole and OP is perpendicular to AB. A charge Q is placed at P where OP = y and y >> 2a. The charge Q experiences an electrostatic force F. If Q is now moved along the equatorial line to P' such that OP' = $\left( {{y \over 3}} \right)$, the force on Q will be close to - $\left( {{y \over 3} > > 2a} \right)$
